Why are specimen thin?
because the thinner it is the clearer it is too see inside

What part of the plant might have a thick cell wall and large vacuoles cell be from?
Cells of the pith of a stem generally have thick cell wall and large vacuoles. Likewise, cells of the cortex in the older parts have thick cell wall and large vacuoles.

Why is it important for a specimen viewed under the microscope to be thin?
A specimen being viewed under a microscope should be thin so that light can pass through the specimen. The thinner it is the brighter it will be. A thick specimen will block the light and all you'll get is a dark grey image. Also, more detail can be seen in a thin specimen because there will not be parts in front of each other, blocking the view.

Why do you cut a very thin slice of specimen to look under light microscope?
The light is reflected upwards, and passes through the specimen. It passes through easier (clearer) if the specimen is not too thick.

Which of the objectives comes closest to a specimen and is most likely to break a slide if proper precautions are not take?
The objective lens on a microscope that comes closest to the specimen and is most likely to break a slide if proper precautions are not taken is the high-power objective. High-power objectives are designed for high magnification, typically in the range of 40x to 100x, and they have a very short working distance. The working distance is the distance between the objective lens and the specimen. Because the high-power objective has such a short working distance, it means that it needs to be very close to the specimen being observed. If the slide or coverslip is too thick or if there's an uneven or raised area on the slide, there's a risk that the objective lens may come into contact with the slide, potentially causing damage to both the lens and the slide. This is why it's crucial to handle slides carefully and ensure they are prepared with the appropriate thickness and flatness to avoid damaging the high-power objective and obtaining clear images during microscopy.
Why should the specimen be thin while making a wet mount slide?
To examine it under the microscope, the specimen needs to be illuminated by either a light underneath or a stream of electrons. If the specimen is too thick, and light or electrons cannot penetrate it, the scientist will be unable to see any detail.
Why must a specimen be very thin to be viewed under a light microscope?
Light microscope works because light goes *through* your specimen. So if the specimen is too thick, then light won't shine through, and you won't see anything.

What is a cover slip microscope?
A cover slip or cover glass is a thin flat piece of transparent material, usually square or rectangular, about 20 mm (4/5 in) wide and a fraction of a millimetre thick, that is placed over objects for viewing with a microscope. The object is usually held between the cover slip and a somewhat thicker microscope slide, which rests on the microscope's stage or slide holder and provides the physical support for the object and slip.The main function of the cover slip is to keep solid specimens pressed flat, and liquid samples shaped into a flat layer of even thickness. This is necessary because high-resolution microscopes have a very narrow region within which they focus.The cover glass often has several other functions. It holds the specimen in place (either by the weight of the cover slip or, in the case of a wet mount, by surface tension) and protects the specimen from dust and accidental contact. It protects the microscope's objective lens from contacting the specimen and vice-versa; in oil immersion microscopy or water immersion microscopy the cover slip prevents contact between the immersion liquid and the specimen. The cover slip can be glued to the slide so as to seal off the specimen, retarding dehydration and oxidation of the specimen. Microbial and cell cultures can be grown directly on the cover slip before it is placed on the slide, and specimens may be permanently mounted on the slip instead of on the slide.
